| The late Oladipo |
APC National Chairman Professor Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda has expressed deep sorrow at the sudden death of Mr. Dotun Oladipo, a respected journalist and leading figure in Nigeria’s media sector.
Yilwatda called Oladipo’s passing a major loss for both the media community and the nation, leaving a painful gap at a time when Nigeria needs experienced, courageous, and responsible journalistic voices.
He praised Oladipo’s lasting contributions to Nigerian journalism, highlighting his commitment to professional excellence, credible reporting, and the advancement of the media industry, achievements that, Yilwatda said, will not be forgotten.
“Dotun Oladipo was not merely a journalist; he was a committed professional who understood the enormous responsibility of the media to society. His sudden departure is deeply painful and has understandably thrown the Nigerian media industry into mourning.
“He brought professionalism, courage and intellectual depth to his work and remained committed to the ideals of journalism as an instrument for informing citizens, holding institutions accountable and strengthening democracy.
“His death is a significant loss not only to his family, colleagues and friends, but also to Nigeria’s democratic project and the broader media community.”
Professor Yilwatda in a press statement signed by his Special Adviser, Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, commiserated with Oladipo’s family, colleagues, friends and the entire Nigerian media fraternity, urging them to take solace in the enduring legacy he left behind.
He prayed God to grant the deceased eternal rest and give his family and loved ones the strength and fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
“On behalf of my family, the leadership and members of the All Progressives Congress, I extend my deepest condolences to the family of Dotun Oladipo and the entire Nigerian media. May God grant him eternal rest and comfort all those he left behind,” the APC National Chairman said.
